I posted on here about The Angel Coaching Inn site on the corner of Upper Street, Islington being earmarked for wanton demolition by TFL/Network Rail for their private money-spinning project Crossrail 2.

Due to public pressure they have backed down & the whole block is saved! However, they still show corporate contempt for our locally listed buildings & those of historical importance locally. The Three Johns, Victorian pub on the corner of White Lion Street & Baron Street is part of our local history – my grandmother may even have had a drink in there before going to the Collins Music Hall on a Saturday night! The old Angel tube station entrance in Goswell Road may not be pretty, but it is a relic of the early days of our Underground tube network. Both should be preserved in an area fast losing it’s visual & historical significance through the rampant imposition of bland, second-rate architecture.
